Photos can be very large files and sending large files via email can be a problem. One way to reduce the size of your photos is to squeeze or compress them with WinZip. It makes the files smaller, puts them all into a handy ZIP file package and allows you to deliver them to friends and familiy without having your email "bounce back" and without overloading the recipient's inbox or internet connection.
